It occurs each year
on a cold morning in late November, but millions of people line the streets from 77th down to 34th Street
-- over 2
miles!
They're here for 1 reason...to
see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Send in the clowns!
Before the official
parade, several clowns come through to liven everyone up. They throw
confetti and greet the children who line the
barricades. The parade is about to begin!
Many spectators are
happy to see the parade begin after traveling many miles and waiting several
hours.
Floating past 72nd Street in
front of the famous Dakota Apartments is a giant clown and a couple of Macy's stars.
I think I hear some music coming...
It's the first of the marching bands.
They come from high schools and universities all over the United States.
There's nothing like the sound of all those drums as they pass
you.
What's Thanksgiving without the turkey? This
traditional float ushers in and celebrates today's holiday.
Do you know who finishes the parade?

It's Rocky and Bullwinkle!
The Moose and Squirrel
are back and, judging by the crowd's reaction, they're a hit!
